Young OF who brings some interesting tools to the table. I'd like to see him play with more
intensity. Med. frame, wide hips and thighs, strong throughout body. Not much projection left in
body. Setup at plate raises questions. Sets up with hands low, still hitter. Hands cast out and he
gets long to the ball. Don't see hands getting moving quick enuf from static position. Swing plane
is steep. Swings from his heels and approach is to pull. Sits back well. He can get away with a lot
of this due to excellent hand eye coordination but as the pitching gets better he will struggle much
more. Chases out of zone and can get away with it right now. Gets beat by too many below avg
to mediocre FB middle in. Approach got better as season went along, started seeing more pitches
and staying in the zone. Doesn't have plus batspd to get away with swing issues. Never ran better
than avg for me out of box although he does move well 1st to 3rd. Big swing contributes to
slowness out of box. Quality routes in OF, will be able to play all three OF positions as he moves
up, not pure CF actions but capable to fill in. More suited towards LF. Doesn't profile as big
league corner OF. Power and avg will be short across board. Defensive skills aren't plus enuf to
keep as 4th OF and overlook bat. Is a AAA player for me who is capable of filling in in an
emergency role @ the big league level but not over an extended period of time.
